{"value"=>"<p>Most of the scores are not in published form; many were used in performance and bear markings by conductors or performers. Almost all exist in multiple versions from sketch to finished holograph to clean copyist manuscript (or reproduction). Because Howe reworked so many of her compositions for multiple instrumental settings, no attempt was made to separate the scores by song, orchestral, choral, chamber, etc. Each title incorporates all variant orchestrations of that title present in the collection. All song lyrics are by Howe (or presumed to be by Howe), unless otherwise noted. All holographs are in Howe’s hand unless otherwise noted (i.e., “copyist holograph”).</p>"}
